Physicians resolves to support gay & lesbian parental rights and spousal
health benefits for same-gender couples; Britain's House of Lords rejects a
measure to open adoptions to unmarried hetero and queer couples, gay activist
Mike Wolfe becomes the first directly elected mayor of Stoke-on-Trent, and
the British government grants asylum to two gay men fleeing homophobic
persecution in Jamaica; openly gay Paris Mayor Bertrand Delanoe leaves the
hospital as he continues to recover from a homophobe's assassination attempt
two weeks ago, while the LPF party founded by assassinated openly gay Dutch
politician Pim Fortuyn loses power and may fade into history altogether as
the national coalition government it was part of falls after just 3 months;
gay activist Dr. Uzi Even's imminent accession to the Israeli Knesset prompts
a call to provide full spousal benefits to his partner, while Taiwan
President Chen Shui-ban declares that his government will "eradicate
discrimination based on sex or sexual preference"; activist gay couple
Alessio De Giorgi & Christian Panicucci plan to contract a Pact of Civil
Solidarity at the French embassy in Rome this week, but Italian government
officials reject both legal recognition of same-gender unions and adoption
rights for gays & lesbians, while the Pretoria High Court dismisses a lawsuit
filed by South African lesbian couple Marie Fourie & Cecilia Bonthuys who are
seeking to legally marry; while it's generally believed that Alexander the
Great was gay, historians at an international conference in Macedonia suggest
that his father King Phillip II may have been bisexual, prompting an angry
protest by dozens of insulted locals; and almost two dozen drag queens climb

SEGMENT #2 - If you think they must be just kidding, you'd only be
half-right about LES BALLET TROCKADERO DE MONTE CARLO. When the
globe-hopping all-male (and currently all-gay) dance troupe pirouetted into
Brisbane, Australia recently, This Way Out correspondent JOHN FRAME
(4ZZZ-FM/Brisbane's "Queer Radio") was "on point" chatting with artistic
director TORY DOBRIN about the serious and the silly elements of "The Trocks"
that afford them both worldwide audience raves and respect in the dance world
(intro'd by a brief clip from the film "Billy Elliot" and intro music from
"Cosmic Dancer" by T-REX from that movie soundtrack). . . . . . . . 8:05

SEGMENT #3 - "TWO" I.D. by "Tales of the City" author ARMISTEAD MAUPIN [:10]
+ Can the life of a woman who was one of the most controversial sexual
revolutionaries of her day be successfully captured on film? Over the last
10 years everyone from Jennifer Lopez to Madonna has announced plans to bring
Mexican artist FRIDA KAHLO's story to the big screen. Thanks to the
persistence of Mexico born producer/actress SALMA HAYEK, "FRIDA" (from
Miramax Films) is finally arriving at multiplexes across North America this
week. This Way Out's STEVE PRIDE has preview clips, and talks with Hayek and
the film's director JULIE TAYMOR about the life and times of that remarkable
political activist-artist (with music from the motion picture soundtrack
composed by ELLIOT GOLDENTHAL) [8:10] . . 8:20
